It's been my go-to set up to gift to smokers even considering dipping their toe in the water. It got me started too.
Woo Hoo! Mine made it today!
I've been vaping for 7.5 years now.
And I'm regressing.
I went off nicotine last January, so it's been a year without.
That is why I say I am regressing.
I like nicotine, but I don't really NEED it to function.
(some probably do though)
But I do like it.
And I think it is also good for my health and well-being.
But I'm being extorted by the health insurance companies.
And my work charges nicotine users (of any kind) an extra $100 per month.
I refuse to pay that, so I am off nicotine until I retire.
And when I retire I hope that I can find a health insurance company that has some sanity.
So instead of small victories, I'm experiencing small losses in freedom.
But either way, I'm going back to nicotine when I retire.
Even if I have to pay for the privilege.
EDIT: Don't mean to bring the thread down, but it needs to be said.

And for me every day I can get through without ordering vape gear is a victory to me. And it's so hard.... ..

I can relate to that. I don't really need any new gear. I like what I vape with, and while I don't have as large a collection as some, I think I have a respectable amount of equipment. But every so often I get the bug to start looking for something new to try. If only I could unsubscribe to the YouTube vaping channels, I think that would help.
But it ain't gonna happen...
I've been waiting for the hammer to fall with our insurance, but, so far, they've not singled out nicotine users. I regularly vape 3mg/ml (or less) and often go days on 0 nic, but, like you, I find I like having a little nic in my diet...
I found a pack and 1/2 of cigs in a purse yesterday. I was not really tempted to smoke one. More aggravated that I had not given them away with the rest I had around the house. They are sitting on top of the refrigerator in an ash tray. I will pass them on to a smoker. 2 weeks, 2 days smoke free...
Not exactly my small victory but My hubby started out right by my side on this vaping journey. After about 6 months in he started back to smoking a couple a day and gradually got back up to over a pack a day (down from his high of up to 3 packs a day). He finally said "This is getting out of hand". He is back down to less than half a pack a day and is trying to go lower. Even after 5 years I still hold out hope that he will someday put all the smokes behind him.
If not.....Well I did marry him for better or worse and I take that vow very seriously.

Very nice. Loved ones' small victories are good to hear about too!
